Building an MMORPG is a really huge task, and if you're new to computer programming you probably want to try a few simpler games first. Most gaming books suggest that you program Tetris as your first game, no matter what your eventual goal is, so that you really understand the basics of how games are laid out. It sounds like you're already familiar with the pygame package, which is a good platform for building these games on.

That said, Dive Into Python (diveintopython.org) is a great introduction to Python, explaining what you can do with it and getting you familiar with the language. Then you might look into SqlAlchemy, a Python package which helps you work with databases even if you're not that familiar with SQL. Getting those first games under your belt and getting familiar with databases packages like SqlAlchemy should get you started on the path down the road to your MMORPG.

Also, why not come to the next Python meetup and learn some things! :) Sept 11th in Atlanta.

We're about:

Every meeting tries to include something for beginners, and also to tackle advanced topics for seasoned developers. We are all learning, so don't be shy about attending, no matter your experience level! Come discover the feeling of community that emerges when people step forward from behind their blogs and keyboards to talk about their favorite programming language.
